Give an extensive look at Asdrubalvect Experimental Wars.The units have lots of modifications and improvements.The model must to contain all the new"hidden" features that you will put there,as bones and pieces that will appear after.

Thanks for the fast reply!
It was the slot definitions I didn't have, totally missed that! Weirdly, it doesn't seem to relate to the issues with the ACU though.
I had the weapon stuff already
thanks for the help!

I can think of a couple of things that might impact you here;

You'll need to define the Slots on your unit blueprint, refer to either the ACU or SCU for that. If the slots aren't defined, then the interface will throw errors, and that's likely what you're seeing. The key hint was the function 'CreateTabs'.

Secondly, you may need to define a weapon in your blueprint, like any other, and see that it's set to a disabled state when the unit is first created. I assume that you've done that by your use of the 'SetWeaponEnabledByLabel', but I just thought I'd mention it.

[Modding] new enhancements for units

2016-11-30T19:25:11+02:00

Hi Faf,
Me again. Relatively simple question;
I am trying to create an enhancement for a shield generator:
Basically just adding a weapon who's muzzle is located on the shield?

From script.lua:

Code:: CreateEnhancement = function(self, enh) TShieldStructureUnit.CreateEnhancement(self,enh) local bp = self:GetBlueprint().Enhancements[enh] if not bp then return end # Restraining order if enh == 'RestrainingOrder' then local blueprint = self:GetBlueprint() CreateSlider(self,'muzzle', blueprint.Defense.Shield.ShieldSize, 0, 0, 1000, true) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('PhasonBeam',true) elseif enh == 'RestrainingOrderRemove' then local blueprint = self:GetBlueprint() CreateSlider(self,'muzzle', -blueprint.Defense.Shield.ShieldSize, 0, 0, 1000, true) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('PhasonBeam',false) end end,

From unit.bp:

Code:: Enhancements = { RestrainingOrder = { BuildCostEnergy = 10000, BuildCostMass = 1000, BuildTime = 1000, Icon = 'cd', Name = 'Restraining Order', Slot = 'Back', }, RestrainingOrderRemove = { BuildCostEnergy = 1, BuildCostMass = 1, BuildTime = 0.1, Icon = 'cd', Name = 'Remove Restraining Order', Prerequisite = 'RestrainingOrder', RemoveEnhancements = { 'RestrainingOrder', 'RestrainingOrderRemove', }, Slot = 'Back', }, },

The enhancement option doesn't appear for the unit, and I get weird glitchiness with the ACU (not sure if related), any ideas?

Code:: WARNING: Error running '/lua/ui/game/gamemain.lua:OnSelectionChanged': ...nce\gamedata\lua.scd\lua\ui\controls\specialgrid.lua(143): attempt to call method `Hide' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...nce\gamedata\lua.scd\lua\ui\controls\specialgrid.lua(143): in function `CalcVisible' ...nce\gamedata\lua.scd\lua\ui\controls\specialgrid.lua(167): in function `Refresh' ...orever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\ui\game\construction.lua(367): in function `OnCheck' ...alliance\gamedata\mohodata.scd\lua\maui\checkbox.lua(45): in function `SetCheck' ...orever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\ui\game\construction.lua(475): in function `CreateTabs' ...orever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\ui\game\construction.lua(357): in function `OnCheck' ...alliance\gamedata\mohodata.scd\lua\maui\checkbox.lua(45): in function `SetCheck' ...orever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\ui\game\construction.lua(2210): in function `OnSelection' ...\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\ui\game\gamemain.lua(491): in function <...\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\ui\game\gamemain.lua:465>
